Podcast appearances and mentions of star anise

Continuing the deep dive into companies on the list of 27 Premium Kombucha brands published on August 11, 2026. We invited any on that list to contact us with more details. I interviewed Noushin Norouzian, the founder of Noush|Cha Kombucha, hand-crafted in Maastricht, Limburg, in the far south of the Netherlands, close to Belgium and Germany. The brand Noush|Cha is derived from Noushin’s name, meaning ‘delightful’ in her ancestral Persian. It combines her name and ‘Cha’, the word for tea in Asia, to create the meaning ‘sipping on a delightful beverage’. Rather than pursuing broad retail distribution, Noush|Cha intentionally focuses on selected stores and long-term collaborators, including chefs at Michelin-starred restaurants. A significant part of their business consists of private clients. I am endlessly fascinated by how kombucha can become a bridge between cultures, ingredients, and culinary experiences. Just as a sommelier pairs wine with food, I love exploring how fermented flavors can complement different cuisines, elevate seasonal menus, and create unexpected sensory journeys. Creativity is food for my soul. The world of flavors, botanicals, and fermentation is limitless, and every new blend is an opportunity to transform inspiration into something people can taste, share, and remember. Flavors There are 10 standard flavors in 275ml bottles: Ginger-Lemongrass: Fresh, zesty, and deeply revitalizing; this flavor is the perfect harmony between the warming spice of ginger and the bright citrusy lift of lemongrass. Crisp, highly sparkling, and endlessly refreshing. Crafted on a refined base of Oolong & Green tea, every sip opens with vibrant herbal freshness, followed by the kick of ginger shot and a clean botanical finish of lemongrass that keeps you coming back for more. This is the flavor that introduced many people to the world of Noush|Cha; bold in character, yet beautifully balanced & super healthy. This is the signature flavor at our favorite hotspot in Maastricht for years now. Raspberry-Vanilla: Bright, fruity, and beautifully refreshing; this flavor brings together the lively sweetness of ripe raspberries with a subtle hint of vanilla, creating a kombucha that feels juicy, super sparkling, and effortlessly balanced. Built on our elegant Ceylon & Rooibos tea base, every sip opens with vibrant berry notes, followed by soft touches of vanilla that round out the finish without overpowering the freshness. Ceylon Cinnamon-Black Current-Caramel: Deep, rich, and beautifully layered; this flavor was crafted for those who appreciate complexity & richness in every sip. The bold tartness of wild black currants meets the warm spice of Ceylon cinnamon, rounded gently with notes of our sugar-free caramel infusion for a finish that feels velvety, elegant, and indulgent. Built on a nourishing base of Ceylon tea and Rooibos, this kombucha carries a depth and richness reminiscent of a fine red wine, sophisticated, full-bodied, and slowly unfolding on the palate. Every sip begins dark and fruity, followed by soft warming spice and subtle caramel undertones that linger beautifully. Refined bubbles with a luxurious character Blueberry-Lavender: Soft, fragrant, and beautifully calming; this flavor brings together the deep sweetness of ripe blueberries with the delicate floral essence of lavender, creating a kombucha that feels both comforting and elegant. Every sip opens with lush berry notes, followed by a subtle herbal-floral finish that lingers softly on the palate. Lightly sparkling, smooth, and beautifully balanced. Elderflower: Light, floral, and delightful, this flavor captures the soft botanical essence of elderflower in a perfect blend that feels refreshing, refined, and effortlessly uplifting. Crafted on our exquisite Oolong & Green tea base, every sip opens with subtle floral notes, followed by fresh herbal brightness and a clean, smooth finish. Delicate in aroma, yet beautifully alive on the palate. Blood Orange – Star Anise – Clove: Bright, spiced, and beautifully refreshing; this flavor brings together the vibrant citrus depth of blood orange with the warm aromatic notes of star anise and clove, creating a kombucha that feels both lively and comforting at once. Crafted on our elegant Oolong & Green tea base, every sip opens with juicy blood orange freshness, followed by delicate layers of spice that gently unfold on the palate. The experience is reminiscent of a refreshing sparkling glühwein; warming in character, yet crisp and vibrant. This is more than a flavor; it's a sparkling winter sunset. Citrusy, spiced, refreshing, and deeply atmospheric. Noush|Cha brews a selection with Guayusa tea from Ecuador. This delivers smooth sustained energy thanks to its natural caffeine, while also being rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, amino acids, and anti-inflammatory compounds. Noush|Cha is proud to be one of the first kombucha breweries in Europe to work with Guayusa as a tea base. Original: Pure, vibrant, and deeply grounding; this classic is the flavor that brings everything back to its essence. Brewed with sacred Amazonian Guayusa tea, this kombucha is smooth, clean, and naturally refreshing with soft earthy notes and a botanical finish, a great alternative for fruity iced tea. Lychee-Rosewater: Delicate, floral, and beautifully refreshing; this flavor is where exotic sweetness meets timeless grace. The juicy softness of lychee blends effortlessly with the enchanting aroma of pure Persian rose essence, creating a taste that feels luxurious, soft, and unforgettable. Every sip opens with fragrant floral notes, followed by the subtle sweetness of lychee and a sparkling botanical finish. Refined, refreshing, and deeply unique Guava: ‘The Tropical Soul of Our Collection’. Crafted with vibrant guava fruit and energizing Guayusa tea, this flavor is sunshine in a bottle. Smooth, juicy, and naturally luscious, it has an almost smoothie-like texture that makes every sip feel rich, refreshing, and deeply satisfying. A soft tropical embrace with a sparkling kombucha twist. Bold, joyful, and full of life; Raise a bottle, celebrate vitality, and taste the tropics. Mango-Juniper Berry: Sun-kissed, juicy, and softly invigorating; this flavor brings together the natural sweetness of ripe mango with a gentle, aromatic bitter zest of juniper berry. Every sip opens with soft, golden mango, followed by a subtle crisp note of juniper that lifts and balances the sweetness, creating a clean, effortless finish. Collaboration with restaurants produces custom flavors available in the larger format 750ml champagne bottles. Noushin notes these are suitable for: Celebrations, gatherings, dinner parties, weddings, bespoke events, and every special occasion where meaningful conversations are shared. Each bottle is alive with fine bubbles, complex botanical flavors, and the artistry of slow fermentation; offering a sophisticated, alcohol-free experience that feels just as festive as raising a glass of champagne. It was created with one clear purpose: To bring artisanal kombucha into the world of fine dining and Michelin-level gastronomy. As a founder, creator, and artisan fermentation sommelier, I believe there are no limits when craftsmanship meets culinary vision. Every menu, every course, every season creates a new opportunity to design flavors that elevate the table. From oriental depth to western classics, from exotic menus to French refinement; Noush|Cha creates living culture pairings that complement each exceptional cuisine. I work only with premium quality teas and ingredients, always focused on purity, balance, remarkable taste & benefits of our product. The result is more than a beverage. It is a fine culinary experience with rich values. Pu-Erh Tea • Blackberry • Shiso Leaf • Szechuan Pepper: Deep, layered, earthy-rich and intriguingly aromatic with an elegant kick. Pandan-Coconut: inspired by the lush flavors of Southeast Asia. The creamy, aromatic notes of coconut meet the delicate vanilla-like fragrance of pandan, creating a vibrant and refreshing booch that pairs beautifully with tropical desserts and sun-soaked summer moments. Sharing her secrets I did my first series of Advanced Workshops in May this year, which meant teaching my tips and tricks about how to flavor and do the second ferment. A lot of my students from the first workshops through the years attended. At the end, they were so grateful. People often ask, ‘Aren’t you scared, you are sharing all the secrets and recipes?’ And I said, no, because it’s all about abundance. It’s about sharing the culture. I want people to take care of themselves. It’s not about just making money. There’s something deeper in the things I learned myself through the years from this culture. It taught me so many things, so much patience and harmony, and how you can allow things to happen and really take care of yourself. So that’s why I’m very passionate about sharing it. I am now working with sommeliers to establish their brews directly, so they can open their own brew station at the restaurant. Restaurants Among the Michelin restaurants and fine dining establishments that carry Noush|Cha are these area venues: De Leuf Beluga Loves You Novo Prix De Rome In May, they exhibited at the Maastricht-Heuvelland Puur Culinair event. They were all there: Michelin-starred chefs Hans van Wolde (Brut172), Guido Braeken (Create), Bart Ausems (Tout à Fait), Servais Tielman (Beluga Loves You), and Robin van de Bunt (De Leuf), alongside five other starred chefs. They had all gathered for the new culinary event, PUUR Culinair. These restaurants are members of Maastricht-Heuvelland Culinair, and that club organized PUUR Culinair for the first time. In the garden of Château St Gerlach in Houthem, twenty renowned chefs, together with producers of local products, treated guests to a culinary afternoon. — De Nieuwe Ster Maastricht, May 31, 2026 Interview Click on the podcast to hear Noushin tell the Noush|Cha story in her own words.

I cannot overstate how good this is – and I speak as someone who has spent a lifetime experimenting with glazes for ham. If I have large numbers to cater for, it is a go-to in our house. Initially I'd serve it hot, and then use any leftovers the following day, either as part of breakfast with some poached eggs or for sandwiches.

And to the end we come! I won't lie, but it's been a huge year and the last part has somewhat dragged on.   Don't get me wrong, I'm super stoked with how the year has finished up. Not to mention a huge thanks to the people that have come out to visit us in Muriwai at Good from Scratch, purchased a EngelElzen cast pan or purchased the amazing Engel fire. I want to thank you all.  As we run into another year with what will be my 8th (I think) on Newstalk Sunday, I want to thank Francesca, Kerrie and all the listeners of NewstalkZB.  This week, we have for all the Christmas ham fans, my favourite go-to ham glaze! I just want to take all the stress out of Christmas day, as it has been a big year!  Cider, star anise & pineapple roasted ham  Cook Time: 60 minutes  Prep Time: 10 minutes  Serves: 8-10  3kg free-range cured & smoked Christmas ham   2 x 330ml dry cider or apple juice   6 star anise   10 cloves   2 cups fresh pineapple, peeled   2 Tbsp Dijion mustard   500 gm brown sugar  Preheat a oven on fan-bake to 160c.   Slice the skin of the ham and score the fat in a diamond pattern.   Combine the cider, star anise and sugar in a pot and bring to the boil, reduce until syrupy (bubbles will increase in size and slow). Dice the pineapple into thin dice and then stir into the cider mixture. Allow to cool.  Place the ham into a roasting tray. Smear the Dijion over the ham, followed by 3 tbsp of the cider glaze. Use the cloves to prick through the pineapple to keep it in place. Place the ham in the middle of the oven oven for 1 hour depending on size, checking and baste until caramelised. Serve hot or at room temperature if transporting. Keep the remaining cider syrup to re-glaze once on the table.  Sumptuous!  Mike's website – goodfromscratch.co.nz  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we talk about new resolutions for 2021. Steve talks about his goal to drop 50lbs. Steve has been cooking up a storm and talks about making Roy Choi's Pho recipe. Which you can find below. Please buy Roy’s book L.A. SON: My Life, My City, My Food. Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/L-Son-Life-City/dp/0062202634/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2B7EPP6UDTZRF&dchild=1&keywords=roy+choi+cookbook&qid=1611072626&sprefix=roy+choi%2Caps%2C317&sr=8-2 Recipe: *Now I halfed the recipe myself but this is the full recipe. Remember you can buy beef bones at your deli, Whole Foods etc. Just ask the butcher if they have Beef bones for bone broth and they will get you squared away. The Broth: 10Lbs Beef bones, rinsed and soaked in cold water for 2 hours. Then drained. 2 onions, unpeeled, halved 1 bunch scallions 2 big stalks fresh ginger, unpeeled 2 cups garlic cloves, peeled 1 cup Star Anise *find in the store where the spices are. 1/2 cup coriander seeds 1/2 cup black peppercorns 1 cup beef base 1 big heavy handful of cilantro stems, leaves reserved for garnish Salt and freshly ground black pepper The rest/ Amounts up to you. Rice Noodles, prepared according to package directions Onion thinly sliced Scallion, minced Fresh Thai Basil leaves (I used regular basil) Limes, cut in half Bean Sprouts washed Hoisin sauce Fresh Cilantro leaves Rare Filet mignon, sliced thin. (My whole foods has a Bulgogi meat section with all kinds of thinly sliced ribeye, filet etc.) Put the beef bones in a big pot and add enough water to cover the bones. There should be at least 3 gallons of liquid in the pot. On a grill or in a sauté pan over medium heat, char the onions, scallions, and ginger using little to no oil, until they’re blackened but not burned. Heat the pot with bones over medium high heat, then add the charred vegetables, garlic, star anise, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, beef base, cilantro stems, and some salt and pepper. Bring to a full boil, then lower the heat to simmer. Let simmer for 3 hours, constantly skimming foam off the surface. Check for flavor, adjust the seasonings and drain the broth through a large sieve, discarding the solids. You can keep this broth in your refrigerator for 2 days or freeze it for the future. To assemble the pho, place the rice noodles in a bowl. The noodles should be soft and at a tepid temp. Pour the hot broth over the noodles and garnish as you please. Id you want to do like me then add everything to the bowl. *I add the bean sprouts, thin onion, some thinly sliced jalapeños, basil, cilantro leaves, siraccha & hoisin sauce to my pho. I hop you have as much fun making Roy’s Pho as I did. Check out @Blkseriesrebels on Instagram to see photos from my attempt. Tag us and share your photos of your Pho adventure. Slurp it up!

When we first met in 1996 we became instant friends he is a fountain of brilliance and fun. I would alway’s bounce things off of him food wise ingredient wise. we are always able to pick up where we left off without missing a beat. Be sure to visit there store in the ferry building or the website to get some amazing chocolates. Follow him: @mrecchiuti Michael RecchiutiFounder and OwnerMichael Recchiuti, a self-made chocolatier, has been experimenting in the kitchen all his life. A Philadelphia native, Michael got his start baking alongside his Italian grandmother as a boy, then creating plated desserts as a young man at the renowned restaurant, Le Bec Fin, and even training with Alain Tricou (Maxi’s, Déjà Vu) for three years in sugar and chocolate.Drawn to San Francisco in 1987 by an exciting culinary, music, and arts scene, Michael found new inspiration in the year-round availability of fresh, local ingredients and international influences. Especially fascinated by the way traditionally savory flavors took on new dimensions and dept when combined with chocolate, his now famous chocolate flavors Tarragon Grapefruit, Lemon Verbena, and Star Anise & Pink Peppercorn were among his first “experiments.” An ongoing fascination along with a nostalgic nod to the tastes of his youth continue to inspire his more recent creations, like Peppermint Thins, Peanut Butter Pucks, and Vanilla Bean Marshmallows.In 1997, after years in the test kitchen, Michael founded Recchiuti Confections with his wife Jacky, based upon the philosophy that “once someone is introduced to truly exquisite chocolate, they will be won over instantly and forever.” Known for using traditional European techniques and equipment; and for hand-selecting every ingredient, Michael sources local California farmers’ markets for bundles of fresh herbs and fruits to create signature infusions and blends single origin chocolates together to create complex and unique tasting experiences.Taste and technique only tell part of Michael’s story. A life filled with art, music, and lots of friends has influenced the look of his chocolates, which act as a show-and-tell of his favorite things. Over the years collections have showcased artwork from Creativity Explored, a San Francisco non-profit close to the Recchiuti’s heart, while others have been adorned with Japanese block prints, tiny love letters to his Hawaiian wife, Jacky.In 2005 Michael’s book Chocolate Obsession (Stewart, Tabori & Chang), co-authored with renowned pastry expert Fran Gage, was released to wide acclaim. The book was a finalist at the 2006 James Beard Awards and won high honors for photography and design at the 2006 International Association of Culinary Professionals annual conference.Currently, Michael keeps busy with Recchiuti’s two locations, the Ferry Building Marketplace and Recchiuti at theLab, always finding new ways to make the chocolate consuming public happy, and obsessed.
